Just a few miles west of densely populated Denver, Colorado, stretches Clear Creek Canyon, a beautiful canyon with a perennial fast-flowing creek fed by natural springs, winter snows, and mountain rain. Millions of visitors each year access incredible hiking and mountain biking trails, world-class climbing routes, great fishing spots, and more in Denver’s backyard–a place to escape the hectic lifestyle of the city and enjoy the outdoors.

Clear Creek Canyon is home to abundant wildlife, native grasses, prolific wildflowers, and scenic ponderosa pine forests. The Clear Creek Land Conservancy exists to ensure that this oasis remains in its near-to-natural state forever. Be a part of the legacy!
